On Monday, Andrew Ference — who hasn’t played since Game 5 of the Toronto series — was skating with Bruins strength and conditioning coach John Whitesides, a positive development in his recovery from a lower-body injury.

I like Ference, but I’d sit him if I’m Claude. Bartkowski and Krug bring an element of speed that really helped the B’s offense get going against NY. Plus, Ference has been a turnover machine this year.
